Having problems with your Canon Rebel XT / EOS 350D Digital Camera ?

Software that comes with the camera

\015 Hi,\015\012I've had my camera for some time. Suddenly, the computer wouldn't recognize it when I went to download the photos, so I tried everything including uninstalling, and then reinstalling the software. Now, when I plug in, the EOS Utility software won't allow me to begin a download. The option is grayed out. The only option available is the "Monitor Folder" option. I am also getting "can not detect camera" alert, and the "select which camera" is empty.\015\012\015\012I have Windows XP Pro SP2.\015

Answers :

This isn't a problem on your computer. The problem is either in the cable between the computer and your camera, or the problem is in your camera.

1) Try a new USB cable. You can buy them at any camera or computer store. Make sure you get the same type of USB cable - take the old one with you so you can compare the ends, or better yet take your camera and make sure you get one that fits into the plug on your camera.

If this doesn't work, you have two options:

2) Use a card reader. You can buy one for $20 or less at most camera and computer stores. You may also have one already built into your computer or printer. Remove the card from the camera, use the card reader to copy the files to your computer, then you can import the files using the same process you used before - start the software then tell it to import from the card or from the copied files on your computer.

Just tried to hook up my camera to my computer and the computer is not recognizing the camera for some reason. Is it possible that the USB cable is bad. I am not getting an error message and we have done this many times without the software installed. We installed the software that comes with it and it wn't allow us to do it either. We just downloaded norton antivirus 2009 to our computer and this is the first time we have tried since doing that. I think the USB cable is bad but it's pretty new.

Canon 450D is not being recognised by my computer (I run xp 32-bit). When I turn on the camera, windows comes up with a "install new hardware" option. I have installed the EOS utility etc. but still the camera isn't recognised by my computer. Anyone have ANY idea? This also happened with my 350D, the only time my computer recognised the camera was when I installed the software package included with the camera. Nothing off the Canon site worked for my 350D, and so far nothing is working for the

Dont have the software cd that comes with the camera

I've lost all my photo's by pressing the 'transfer mode' button. I've run it through some file recovery software which says thay are within the camera but not on the sd card. The pictures are visible with the recovery software. However, that's as far as the software can go. When I attempt to transfer the found files to my computer it comes up with an error message. Is there a fix or have I lost them for good?

I have a nikon d70 digital camera with which I have shot a few thousand exposures. A number of what seem to be minor software errors have been cropping up. For instance: I can't get the camera to "beep"; I can't format the memory cards using the 2 button system - I have to go through the menu setup; I can't select certain of the image quality options using the "quality" button - I have to go thru the manu. Certain numbers come up unreadable on the control panel.
